Enjoy Independent Bars and Restaurants of the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham

One of the things we love most about the Jewellery Quarter is the incredible independent food and drink scene right on our doorstep.

As the owners of the property, we’re huge foodies, and honestly we never struggle to find somewhere that takes our fancy. Whether we’re craving Italian, Indian, street food, brunch or just a great pub dinner, there’s always somewhere fantastic within a few minutes’ walk. It’s one of the reasons we love hosting guests in this neighbourhood — you can arrive, drop your bags, and be sitting down to a great meal almost immediately.

St Paul’s Square is the heart of the area and a perfect place to start exploring, but some of the best spots are tucked along the surrounding streets.

Below are some of our personal local favourites that we regularly recommend to guests.
